Not new but looking for more active friends
I've been on and off MFP for 7 years and have been able to successfully reach my goal in the past.

Which HRM?
I would like to buy a heart rate monitor but I don't know which one. I'm *hoping* to spend £40 or less (less, if possible) so does anyone have experience with lower priced but good value for money HRMs?

One week in
Hi, I'm Bria. I've been on MFP for a week now and I'm already feeling more energetic and healthy. I started this journey when we got an xbox kinect a few weeks ago and now I have no excuse not to exercise. I love seeing everyone's success stories and I can't wait to share my own in the future. I'm 5'9" CW 196 GW 150-160 I…
